Correct Answer: 2,3,4
The responsibility for nutritional assessment and support in most health care facilities belongs to the primary care provider, the nurse, and the dietitian. The client should be involved in the nutritional plan of care, but is not responsible for assessment. Food service staff serve trays on the floor, and may assist clients to complete their menu order, but do not assess clients.
